Thanks for the info fellas, great advice
Im going to look into storing blurays, but my biggest fear is loosing video and audio quality. I just bought a new receiver and running an 11.2 system (2 front, 4 rear, 2 front wide, 2 front wide, 1 center, 1 sub front and 1 sub rear) and everything I checked out down grades 7.1 to 5.1, while my receiver takes 7.1 to 9.2 with "3D sound" out of the top front highs (I had a yamaha that did the same, called presence from THX).
receiver also up converts all video coming in to 1080p, which I am anxious to test with some cable movies and DiVx formats compared to the Bluray player.

IMO, its not worth it. there is no true 1080p like the Vudu box does which offers "super-hd" at 1080p 24fps. The bluray player I bought (LG BD 390) has a built in Vudu software which made it worth every penny, as well the ability to stream any content from a home theater PC, and so does my receiver.
I can pull pod casts from my computer and even through TiVo. I don't see any advantage that Apple TV has over the
LG BD-390 besides in an Apple product and you can stream content from iTunes
